my father has been in hospital for several weeks and has applied for the hse home support package.
We his family are not supportive of his coming home for reasons I do not wish to discuss. His medical team know the reasons why. They are now saying that we need to agree his home care package before they discharge him.
We are not in a position to offer any care which they know and they have previously said that they would be sending him home even if he lived alone as it is his wish and right to be at home.
Are there any reasons why we should not agree to the package?
We feel we are holding up his discharge by not agreeing but are slow to sign anything as we do not in actual fact agree with him coming home
Can they keep him in hospital until we agree?
